I went for another check up
And got a third opinion. This time, they told me that, nope, it’s not the cruciate ligament, who told me that and how could they make such a stupid mistake? It’s clearly the meniscus. Which is inflamed. I feel it’s a bit risky to go and poke at it while it’s inflamed, but they told me that physical therapy is a must.
I started it yesterday, and it looks like they might end up doing something to my arm, too, which sort of worries me, but... maybe this time therapy will help rather than damage?
Yesterday session was a bit lukewarm; to test the waters, so to speak. Laying there as I went through the electrotherapy and the laser thinghie I got ideas for fics and for the sketch of Jay and Timothy I’d told Mary about.
Today's session was a bit more painful, but still well within acceptable limits. There’s an oddly-looking swelling now (like a series of knots or huge bubbles/bug bytes), and the skin is all red, but I think it’s just the criotherapy (not sure how to translate this one). *pokes at knee*
I must admit, I was real worried. >_< But I’m starting to think more positively now! *crosses fingers*
